Goodbye Aachener… Hello New Office!

We've moved into our new headquarters! Before sharing some impressions, let’s take a trip down memory lane past our previous offices.

Office 1: Construction site (2011).

Office 2: Shared apartment without heating (2012).

Office 3: Remote (2013).

Office 4: Our first 'real' office, Aachener Straße (2014).

We'll always keep Aachener Straße in good memory, but it was time to leave. When we moved in, the Userlike team were only four people. Three years later, our number had grown to over twenty.

Too little privacy, too little air, too much noise. Not a problem as long as you have enough coffee. But because the kitchen was located in the middle of the office, whenever someone had an important call or webinar (which happened more and more often), it meant the rest of us couldn't talk, or –worse– use the coffee machine.

Luckily, we finally found a place that fit all our wishes.

Packing up.

Office 5: Probsteigasse (2017)

Our inner courtyard connects all rooms.

The office is bright and modern.

No need to put a cap on the coffee flow.

We don’t like thinking in silos. So the main factor for splitting up the team to fit the two big rooms was simple: Noisiness. Those making calls, webinars and demos (Customer Success, Sales) in one room; the 'quiet' workers (Development, Design, Accounting, Marketing) in the other.

Production Room: Marketing

Production Room: Development

Working on new chat designs.

After lunch foosball and Fifa tournaments. Spot the pro.

With two inner courtyards we finally have the space for a professional BBQ.

Lunch.

Beef Brothers.

Team salad.

Four more people have already started after we’d moved. More will be joining us here.

Happy newbies.

Exciting times ahead!
